"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

I don't think a trash poet is the equivalents of a trashy person. I think it is very much the opposite.

I take it my KDJ nomination has been struck down on the grounds DK stated.

yesssss you had me worried there!!!!!!!

the auditions for spokesmodel continues. if you are interested or would like to nominate someone for consideration please let me know. they only need to prepare a 30 sec Dkult Promo and a poloroid of their 'good side'

True, no trash no trashpo. I have direct experience of this terrible situation when visiting germanic countries, no trash any where, so depressing. But  back is England... Oh the joy! Knee deep wading in  it.

By the way I decided to change my New Year resolution from learning to type to I shall be dirty and slovenly

My cat's name is Potion, but his nickname is Po. I didn't really ever make the connection to trashpo until recently. like tonight. a Glue in sounds perfect!!!  I say we take the whole freeganism to the next level and actual  hold the dinner IN the dumpster.  It will be a rite of passage---do you fear germs more or not being able to do trashpo?

DVS--trashpo does represent all those things, but we are totally dependent on the majority NOT following this. With no trash, or very little such as in Japan, we will be relegated to only the most pristine of trash. That stuff doesn't interest me. Holographic mail art would be good

I knew you, DK would be the first to heed the call, "IF ITS GOT ENERGY, YOU CAN READ IT!!!" gREAT START with those slogans for our "occupy" movement, and a cat named Po, how cool is that!!!!!

Instead of a die-in, a "Glue-in...glue ourselves to the mailbox??? How about instead of black brunch we can have dumpster diving dinners!

"you say you want a revolution?"

Comment by De Villo Sloan on January 7, 2015 at 1:05am

Po is a Teletubby.

Dk, what is up? I'm sure the group has discussed this.

Trashpo is about recycling, anti-consumerism and healing the planet. The elimination of trash is just one step in an evolution, and Trashpo will evolve into something else.

I'm sure there were discussions about this.

Comment by DKeys on January 7, 2015 at 12:45am

talking to DVS I just realized something:

Cleanliness is our enemy!

Recycling is our enemy!!

Reusability is our enemy!

Environmental Responsibility is our enemy!

yeah, it's awesome for the planet, but

No Trash = No Trashpo

#occupy trashbin  #occupy Mailbox

Did I tell you I have a cat named Po?

This is a very worthy cause Neil!! As Chaplain of Dkult we expect nothing less than you guiding us to rally around the right causes (except maybe for the bring back Disco efforts) where shall we congregate? should we do a die-in around the mail boxes?or have a funeral for mail art?
